EcoFog® VpCI®-309 Nano: Corrosion Protection For Hard to Reach Areas!

Recessed spaces are easily missed by common corrosion inhibitors leaving areas exposed to the dangerous effects of corrosion. Cortec® Corporation introduces a new product in corrosion protection to reach these hidden areas – EcoFog® VpCI®-309 Nano. This patent pending product is a Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibiting (VpCI®) powder designed to protect ferrous metals in hard-to-reach recessed areas, interior cavities, and voids. Due to the submicron particles, it diffuses faster, travels longer distances, and has a much larger specific surface area compared to a product with larger sized particles. EcoFog® VpCI®-309 Nano offers VpCI® protection with unique physiochemical advantages, making it an extremely efficient method to treat hard-to-reach spaces within an enclosed space.

Cortec® EcoFog® VpCI®-309 Nano utilizes Cortec’s patented VpCI® Technology to provide a monomolecular inhibiting layer on products. EcoFog® VpCI®-309 Nano Powder is easy to apply with little or no surface preparation needed and provides superior protection to ferrous metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. This product does not contain silicates, phosphates, nitrites, or heavy metals and provides up to 24 months of continuous protection. EcoFog® VpCI®-309 Nano does not affect the physical properties of the product and can be removed by air gun or water rinse.

  • APPLICATIONS
